Bananarama were formed in 1981 when childhood friends Sara and Keren joined with Siobhan and created one of the most successful all-girl bands of the decade. They enjoyed nine top ten hits including Venus, Cruel Summer, Robert De Niro's Waiting, I Heard a Rumour and Love in the First Degree, many as a result of their collaboration with Stock, Aitken and Waterman.

Belinda Carlisle is one of the most prolific female artists of the 1980s generation. She has released over 30 singles including Circle in the Sand, Summer Rain and the number one smash Heaven is a Place on Earth.

Heaven 17 went on to fuse funk and pop through a series of era defining albums and singles, gaining great chart successes and cult status with hits Come Live With Me, Crushed by the Wheels of Industry and of course Temptation.

T'Pau burst onto the scene in 1987 with Heart and Soul which reached number four in both the UK and USA - and was followed by the classic China in Your Hand, which stayed at No.1 for five weeks and had appeared on over 150 compilations.
